As for Garson, he’s tricky to find. The reason is that there is another band that call themselves “Ataraxia” *and* there’s another musician also by the name of Mort Garson. So search engines are of little help.

If you find a copy of the original vinyl LP at a thrift store, buy it. Copies in good condition sell for about $100 to $200 on the collector’s market.

I’m always on the lookout for anything done by Dean when I go record shopping at antique places, though. My collection includes some Yes and Uriah Heep.
